I think the first set going to Scotland was fair, they were slightly the better pair.

I think that Jamie and Aucks are going to drop from exhaustion, both mental and physical once this match is over!

Aucks serving

15-0, Bally nets.

30-0, my screen has frozen

40-0, there was a male scream so I'm guessing Jamie made a mistake.

game.

Sounds like some superb tennis from Jamie and Bally to win 7 points in a row !

Aucks and Katie must be a little shell-shocked - losing 7 straight points and they didn't really do much wrong apart from that double fault at 4-2

You know, I can understand the livestream sb getting mixed up as to which Murray brother was serving, but I would have thought they could tell the difference between Jamie and Elena! Throughout Jamie's serve they were showing Elena as serving.

England had a couple of good half-chances on Bally's serve; 0-30 twice I think but the Scots won some close points in both service games to hold on...things could have been a lot, lot different if england had created a bp on one of those games.

Jamie held serve for 1-1

Katie serving...40-15 up

OK there are now 7 players on each side.

15-0 according to the umpire.

30-0.

having rebooted it turns out Katie is serving. at 1-1 second set.

15-0, good intercept from Aucks.

15-15, df.

30-15, a deep groundstroke from AUcks means Bally can't get it more than half way across her side of the court.

40-15, the ball teeters on the tape before dropping back on the Scottish side.

40-30, df. (there have been too many of these from Katie)

deuce. great return from Jamie, great response from Katie just over the net but Jamie is there and waiting. winner from him.

ad Scotland.

game Scotland. Great rally between all four players, Aucks goes for the winner but goes wide.

2-1 Scot.

Katie serving:

40-15

40-30

deuce

ad scotland

game scotland

Scotland lead 7-6, 2-1. First break of the match, is this the hammer blow which ends england's chances in this rubber

Madeline · Admin:Moderator + Tennis Legend

No, they can't tell the difference. Elena is serving and the sb shows it as Jamie.

Bally serving:

15-0, Aucks nets the return, off a very good serve it must be said.

15-15, ouch. Aucks volleyed it straight at Jamie, and hit him.

30-15, Acuks nets the return.

40-15,

40-30, this time Jamie is prepared to defend himself from Aucks, the ball stays in play for two more shots before Bally goes long.

game Scotland. English pair dominated that point and had it won, so Bally hit the net and it boucned past Aucks who couldn't get it back, the only way to win the point!

Aucks serving

15-0, return out

15-15, Katie goes out

30-15, ace

40-15, not sure where Jamie was aiming that return but it went up and out!

game England. This time Aucks' volleys are working beautifully and Bally is sent on a runaround to get everything back. Eventually Aucks gets the passing shot past her! 2-3

Jelena serving(looks and serves like Jamie, apparently isn't):

15-0, return wide

15-15, lovely lob from Katie over Jamie's head.

15-30, return winner

30-30, Jamie hits his bh volley with both hands, well disguised and Aucks can't get to it.

30-40, great volley from Aucks to Jamie's feet, he looks to be ready but nets the response.

deuce. great intercept from Aucks but it leaves his side of the court empty and Jamie makes use of the fact.

ad Scotland, Aucks nets the return.

deuce. Wow. Aucks created a huge angle out of nothing on that shot, he was on the run and looked down and out but got it back to the surprise of all, Jamie couldn't get it back over the net as it died on the bounce. Really great shot that.

ad England, return winner

deuce, unreturnable.

ad Scotland, super huge serve and Aucks gets his racket on it but can't control it so goes wide.

game. Katie tires a couple of lobs again But either Jamie has grown or they weren't as good. Aucks nets to end the point but it was a high quality rally, game in fact.

imoen · Admin: Moderator+Tennis Legend

Katie serving at 2-4 second set.

0-15, return winner.

0-30, a lob over Bally this time but Katie goes long.

15-30, return long.

30-30, Jamie nets return, good job as Aucks wouldn't hav egot there

40-30, a tired-looking Jamie can't get to ball in time.

game. Again, Jamie nets, he looked quite tired that game, perhaps nearly being broken last game took it out of him.

4-3 Scotland.
